The Space Pope is the head of the First Amalgamated Church (several mainstream religions from the 20th century, mixed together). He endorsed a propaganda film that discouraged human-robot relationships. He is also seen guiding the Planet Express Ship in Rome, although unsuccessful.
He is the inspiration for the rhetorical question "Is the space pope reptilian?"

Pope Billyus the 1st Deus Pontifex
AN UNQUALIFIED IDIOT AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY BAD SPELLER.
Pope Billyus Maximus Supreme Gordita Crunch Wrap (born 1986) HIGH EPOPT OF SEX AND ROBOTS, CHRONOMANCER, TIME DEUS, LIVING HISTORICAL INACCURACY, Prime Archon of ERRFF, The Static One, Highest Head of the First Amalgamated Church, UNroyal usurper of the Catholic Church and all other old world religions. A dark presence entered this vessel from an early age as many prophets do (the Great Prophet Muhammed included) there was a great resurgence in the planetary forces as mercury's retrograde initiated the un-doing of the gods. Was immortalized perpetually in apocatastasis time field. Was apotheosized and pontified by Pope Robert from beyond the grave. Was awarded high Discordian and Subgenii honors of Slack and Chaos by deceased Subgenii and Discordians alike.
Alien Communications and followers
one of the major duties of a Space Pope is to be in communication with forces unseen. Horrors, aliens, angels, demons, dead people, cultists, zombies, werewolves, vampires, new techs, neophytes, neanderthals, celebrities, and other popes. Basically he pisses a lot of people off just by existing. His followers were the entire human race as he shepherds them across the stars occasionally charting a new cosmological graph or two to lead the human race into space riding giant metal dragons.
Powers and Gifts
Many powers and gifts were stored in his command skull and seek to gain dominion over the stars. So he must retard himself into a state of unknowing oneness with the Universal nothingness, Avidya . Voidless and vacuumed out of reality. Driving the forces of time and space from wherever and more importantly whenever he is with various time manipulators. A title so long it goes on for infinity. A world of worlds so complex even he can't understand it.
Helped Harry S. Truman build a space fleet of enormous proportions with technology stolen from Daleks.
Space Craft Design Foundations for Forbidden Science
Pope Billyus was one hell of a Philosoraptor
after many government and religious organizations outright rejected his works in quantum time travel theory as being "totally bogus" and "way too many syllables to pronounce," he went into quantum hypersleep after self induced hypnosis and never woke up again. His mind and body were separated at birth and his shell was cast off into the far off galaxies as space dust. At the time just before his pontification he was a semi-transcendent indigo child living on Earth near the beach talking to interstellar travelers and ghosts.
While no one has officially received one of his "interstellar designs" (plans from the future, space vessels, future & spacer tech) in the mail, these plans do exist there, in the collective unconsciousness of humanity, as ANSIBLES . As Often waiting for pivotal technologies to be uncovered or reproduced.
His many inventions and rediscoveries include slipstream light speed travel as small as a hearing aid, a hyperspace warp generator (that runs on flatulence), a generator capable of powering a city block on one person's pee, a human gas harvester teleportation ray that would teleport gas right out of people. A bed that is also a teleporter for long distance liaisons, and a house that flies.
He ritualistically advocates for Zero Point Energy and other gravitational technologies to be released to the public even though the establishment will never change its stance on these subjects.
Artificial Intelligence studies, Cognitive Operating Systems, and Star Map
Starmap connected all space popes in the hyperverse
One of the hobbies of The Great Billyus was computer science. He spent many sleepless nights interfacing with the cosmic machines of the elder gods. It amused him how closely machine learning related to human thought. He coined the term "brain theology" and "technological telepathy." One night while meaning to invent a 2-way communication circuit for the mind's eye he ended up building a full blown operating system for the mind based on Tim Leary's work of the 8 circuit system and Linux (also some earlier mac kernal clones)
He later went back in time and supplanted these OS in old hollywood celebrities in hopes of propagating them by the time of his birth. This became a "Chicken or the Egg" paradox, which came first? The Operating System that could invent itself was widely accepted as blunder in Time Control history. Having infested an infallibility circuit, an omni fallibility circuit, and an omni-infallibility circuit, created a new paradigm of conscious thought. Thinking outside the walls of our perception opened his eyes and his heart, to the vacant and tumultuous void of the universe. Deafening sounds poured out, as if it was crushing stars into diamonds. The sounds of a million universes being constituted, destroyed, and reconstituted into an omni-verse. Where there was no existence there were the walls of perception. A collective unconscious subjectively experiencing itself through beings of infinite energy...
Could be considered responsible for more than one disaster upon humanity as well as saving the planet Errff (which he still resides on to this day). Loosed an infallible and immortal robot intelligence on humanity millions of years ago. Couldn't stop the giant roach invasion of 2010s. Doomed several worlds that closely resembled Earth. Many neighboring sideways Universes were concerned that they kept being invaded by aliens. Really this is because they had no envoy to protect their humanity besides humanities old religions.
Saved the Earth by signing several peace accords with galactic empires to treat Earth as a protected planet and human preserve.
Even renamed it... Errff. Why? Because it was spelled like Ear-THH and that's hard for extraterrestrials to pronounce.
Humanity was shielded by an invisible field. This field was later extended around the solar system. It was prepared by characters from another church/galaxy.
Google me, in your dreams
Helped google design internet access and google(hive)Mind tm while you sleep.
"Now you can google while you dream~"
Designed his own starmap that he debuted in 2012 but only started to spread around in 2013 as a way to promote his secret product lines and life long project Protect Brain OS, Mindfi, Universal Translation software (of thought and unconscious expressions) and still more that was in beta testing. It was capable of communication and mapping of the stars. Even focused on finding alien life on nearby moons or stars using telepathic mind waves and several unused earth frequencies as well as enochian calls.
Helped design Nintendo's mind console and emulator for 500,000 games to be used with their free mind OS that had been based on a design he had invented with the psychic inspirations of Steve Wozniak and a deceased Steve Jobs, and Reggie from Nintendo fame.
A "billy" knowing full well the events of the future, klein(time)warp'd and sent back a message to the conspiracy in 1929 that would later lead to the Stock Market crash, the rise of hitler, WW2, and eventually 9/11. This was spurred on by his capture, by Time Police. Billyus later destroyed their reality time tunnel only to find that NHGH had been puppeting the "billy" force of will into a "bobbie" state.
May have inadvertently taught Hitler how to time travel, as well as given him the power of time control. After a long talk about spacecraft from the 1940s
The Anarchisms of Anachronisms and Time Paradoxes
While it has never been expressly forbidden to anyone in print that there should be no meddling with the past events of history, it is possible if one knows the right procedure and methods.
As a result many many MANY events that may not (WOULD NOT) have happened, were the DIRECT result of time manipulated events set forth by Billyus and his Gods. Everything happening to him is DIVINELY excused by "Bob" and directly related to his person existence.
An example was his introduction of the classic baseball cap to the founders of America. Finding the stolen paintings of King George and signalling General Washington's march on Valley Forge.
"Why should I save the Earth?"
Errff Still Survives By My Will
This question puzzled the immortal Billyus (who was stuck in a time prison) for decades (periodically being killed off, if not by his government then just by sleep, junk food, drugs, starvation, explosions, scanning, and his own will. Figured out why humanity needed to be saved and all, just wasn't a very good reason. Clearly all the maladies of the old world had been cured by technology and still there were millions in pain. Whereas prophets before him had a similar message of world peace and harmony there were still many many many differences between his catmas and other mainstream or indie religions. For example his major belief is Dadaistic and that all forms of worship are equally valid as any other. Including, God, Robots, UFOs, Satan, Elder Gods, Eris, "Bob". Believes that humans will become trans-human. That man will drop his obsession with greed for one of technology and turn themselves into overlocked human robots. Still the professionals of the world would go on to make sales instead of discoveries, because there was certainty to this path. Even though there will be a future with no money no matter what, the idea should be that there is no future with money. And that any future we project should be one without monetized control and slavery.
It was mostly humanity that was blind fleas and lice clawing at the skin of Elder Gods that got them in this situation in the first place. They articulated to the green flame that they were to be a god before other gods to help explain the situations of the planet. Literally unable to question themselves. Blind and cursed within a shadow verse of their own design.
"Still immortal and still investing in nothing."
Currently abandoning earth for the nearest Stargate sounds like the best solution until this planet learns to stop eating, drinking and sleeping to become forever immortal souls.
Immortality, Buddha, and the Non-Existence of the Universe & Church of the Subgenius
While most of his Officially Ordained Rev. Card is redacted, Pope Billyus mutated from a mortal named "billyBoB" his mutations were subtle at first but then bought more Subgenius literature in Conspiracy year 2007, and became a full on OVERMAN. Through telepathic communications he channeled, Howl, Stang, Drummond, Pope Bob, Leary, McKenna, and many many many others and learned what he could... Osmotically absorbing information into his protoplasmic membranes. Designing a conspiracy he could destroy and then reconstitute.
On a day in early Aug 2016 Billyus home in California was attacked in what might call a series of freak murders. As a result of taking a buddha brownie and experiencing a hyper awareness of the intersecting realities collapsing in rapid succession after attacking a deity. Most likely LRH's followers who intended to play out their own power fantasies, on a pope for having less than straight sexuality. Killing many of his sideways versions that were un-clear demon worshipers.
Billyus sat on his bed doing a one man improv as holographic bullets shattered windows and screens. For the good part of a morning screaming, not crying and being very buddha like while his alternate selves perished continuously and resonated in pain. Resulting in repeated deaths of the Host Billys, the destruction of his homes across many similar planes, and more than a few hyper dimensional lawsuits. (to which verdicts rendered weren't very clear, as if the lawsuits never happened or as if they had been erased by Time Control...) This may be the result of Hyperdimensional Lawyers from the 1503rd district Space Court but who can honestly say what happened that day.
But the result was clear. Unable to sustain his time field bubble through countless deaths his only option was to go into a buddha like mental state of peace and make a pact with "Bob" to keep his dark powers. Further splattering the speckled "lamb's" remains into just another dot on "Bob." Billyus plotted out several escape routes into alternate dimensions like a real "Rick." Bugs Bunny thought It was fucked. Mitch Hedberg said, "it was cool that we were all fish at one point, but it sucks that you got aced." Then Billyus changed everyone back to fish for 5 seconds. . . . And then transported them to a higher plane. An 11-fold Omni-Verse Reality. Customized and hypersynchronized. At the end of the episode, it was revealed that *SPOILERS* There is no existence. And that nothing is real which is why we crave real and distrust fake. But everything we know is real, even the stuff that's real fake. Ha'lright.
Having been aware of his indigo powers for years now had resulted in many many "dead billys" which just seem to crop up in every dimension where there exists a billy. The hyperdimensionallity of billys is similar to that of a "Morty" many exist there is no "original" anymore. That was who mutated into Billyus. There are moments where the Pope will go into a mental fit channelling one of his infinite channels and become slightly talkative and confused. Generally about who he is or what year it is. This has nothing to do with the non simultaneously apprehended time space continuum that split after 9/11...
You could say it takes a lot of dead soliders and roaches piled up to make a man. I feel like enough dead billys will make a half decent universe.
The Non-Existence of reality as well as many "Secrets of Power" were revealed upon his death. Many blinders were removed and he was considered to be transcendent but felt he needed to keep himself grounded in reality and got a normal day job.
What can I say? Working pro bonobo, being a Pope is a real squid pro quo job . -Pope Billyus
